Lukashenko: Belarus is in favor of resolving any international conflicts through negotiations

MINSK (BelTA) – Belarus is in favor of resolving any international conflicts through negotiations. Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko made the statement in his speech during the parade in honor of Belarus' Independence Day on 3 July, BelTA has learned.

Alexander Lukashenko said: “We are proud of the fact that Belarus is an established independent nation that pursues a peaceful multiple-vector foreign policy. Equality of all countries and their non-interference with domestic affairs of each other represent our unwavering principle. We are in favor of resolving any international conflicts through negotiations only."

“Unfortunately, other countries are unwilling to follow the example,” stated the president. “What do we have as a result? The global instability is on the rise. The international security system lies in ruins. European countries pursue the policy of militarization. They are joining the arms race and are making military preparations. The USA is deploying a missile defense system near our borders and is building up its nuclear potential."

“The modern Belarusian army is our answer. It is getting constantly modernized. It is mobile, well-trained and armed,” stressed Alexander Lukashenko.
